My son is trying HARD for me to give it to him, which I won't do.  Today he wa****ting me up for a bike he saw on Craigslist - said he'd keep his little car and the bike - told him fine, but HE would be carrying the insurance.. I just have to get out from under all this especially with retirement looming in a month. 

But - I'm looking at a new bike - LOL... I'm thinking about putting mine up for sale too and seeing if I can get what I want.  With selling both bikes, I'll have most of the money I need for it... sounds good huh?  LOL

I was going to go riding - while its a beautiful day, the wind is just a howling something awful - 30-40mph.  Back in the day, while I didn't like riding in the wind, I did - but now, weighing a lot less, I don't have as much holding the bike down and I really can feel the difference. 

Good luck on getting your new bike!!  I still pay one of my kids cell phone bill.....if I can get rid of that they will both be totally on their own except for the grandma stuff I do.  I have a really hard time telling either of them "No."  I remember how hard it was for DH and I when ours were little and feel fortunate that we can help if we want.

After DH's bike gets paid for, I would like to look for a small one for me so we could ride together.  I imagine the wind could be really hard on holding it in the road.  Maybe it won't be long and it will be nice enough to enjoy, especially after you retire.

How much longer does your DS have in school?  Maybe he can get his own after graduation.

Well.... he wa****ting me up today for some money for one.  I gave him my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and we ended up selling it a few months ago.  I've got the money in the savings acct for him to use when the time comes for a new car (he has a little one that gets good gas mileage, but not sure how longit will last)  He told me "give me $1800 for that bike and you can have the rest". Of course I said 'ok'... until he hits me up come fall for a new car because his isn't running anymore...

I still pay for his cell phone and car insurance too.  Told him he needs to take it over - get another job if need be....

Miles walked around several stores and washed the dog

Thought my snack bag was well packed and when I got out doing errands the only thing in there was peanuts! ACK! oh well at least it was some protein.

Ooooo - I didn't take mine today either... shame on us!!

Watch those peanuts - I used to eat cashews thinking it was good fat and free food with protein - HA!! my weight started creeping with them and I had to totally cut them out. 

Jody on taking care of yourself !!

oh I'm So Sick of entitled feeling young ( and middle aged foolish ) men !!

he's lucky he has U in his corner ... and he better stop pushing for all he can get . My parasitic stepson the same age as me is out 4 good I think - I PRAY thank GOD !!

I encourage him at every exam and term paper with the thought in my head .... I just Pray he passes and doesn't come home !! The Best Possible outcme is for him to get his degree ... get a well paying job and get an apartment ...so don't have to fight over sititng down at the table when I've cooked , cleaning his room and the gosh darn insurance and cell phone WE're still paying for ?! At THIRTY ?!!

 One of the things I'm realizing as  a SMART  and Money - savvy woman is  that the men around me will  WASTE  money and hard- earned rescources   willy -nilly until I put a foot  on their neck .

Its not  a conjecture .. its a REALITY .. we're smarter than they are .( in EVERY species across the board ) .. and if we're foolish enough to let them run the show .. the whole ship will be aground before U know it  .

So we Have to take responsibility .   Yes , I like all women WISH  for a Prince Charming ..but I m lucky to get  a good earner  who is willing to listen to me and be loyal to me ..... and now I have to step up to the plate and run the show .

Thank God I'm surrounded by men who  ( I think)  will let me do it .
